I want to grow up

I can't wait

To grow up and see

Every

Single

Opportunity

That no one

Will ever

Give me

Because I'm a kid

I haven't had experience

But only because

I've never had

A chance

People ask me

What do you what to do

When you grow up

I say my dream job

That I have known since

When I was six

And

I say

When I grow up

I want to change the world

But I don't want to wait

All I want

Is to make

An impact

On everybody who

Cares

All I want

Is to be able

To make a choice

Instead of someone making one

For me

  • Why Can’t I be Both

    Why can’t I be both 

    Why can’t I like

    Crop tops 

    And still support

    Women’s rights

    Why can’t I wear makeup 

    And still think 

    All bodies

    Are beautiful 

    Why is it bad

  • The Way Of Life

    One foot

    Infront of the other

    Head held high

    Flat expression

    On my face

    The only sign

    Of any emotion

    Are my fists

    Clenched by my sides

    Or my thumb

    Tapping each finger

  • I'm Sorry

    I'm sorry 

    I'm sorry for what 

    My country is doing 

    For what we seem to think 

    Is OK   

    I'm sorry for how 

    My president is acting
